W do not kr.ow its paternity, bat it contains Bom . wholetoma truths, beaolifullr set forthr,., . ,, : , - . . Men soldom think of the great etont of death till the shadow falls acrcsi their own pith. biding forever from their eyes the traces of the loved ones whose living smile was the sonlightof their existence, ttaath is the' great antagonist of life, ani the told thought of the tomb' is the skeleton of all feists. We do not want to go through the rjnrk valtey, atthcOgh its passage mar lead to Paradise; and, with Charles Lamb, we do not want to lie down in the muddy grave, even with kings and princes for our bed-fellows. But the Cut of nature is inexorable. There is no appeal or relief from the great law which dooms us to dust, . We flourish and1 we fade ss the leaves of the forest, and the flowers that bloom and wither in a day have not a frailer hold upon life than the mightiest monarch that ever shook the earth with his foot-steps. Generations of men appear and vanish as the world to-day, will to-morrow disappear ss the footsteps on the shore. - In the beautiful drama of Ion, the instinct of immortality, so eloquently uttered by the death-devoted Greek, finds a deep response in every thoughtful soul. When about to yield his young existenco as a sacrifice to fate, bis beloved Clemanthe asks if they shall not meet again, to which be replies: "I have asked that dreadful question of the hills that look eternal-of the clear slreims that flow forever of the stars.smoog whose fields of azure my raised spirit hath walked in glory. . All were dumb. But while I gaze upon thy living lace, I feel that there is something in the love that mantles through its beauty that cannot whol Iy perish. We shall meet again, Cleman-tbe,"A Sister's Letter to a Highwayman. - A notorious highwayman was shot near Auburn, California, a few weeks ago. On his person was found the following letter from his sister: Sweet Home, March 14, 1859. My Dkab, Deab Bhotiieb.: I can scarcely believe, or realize that I am indulging in the privilege ofaddressing you with hope of being heard or understood. And tremblingly I ask that yon my murh beloved brother, the guide of my childhood, will allow a renewed corres pondence to open between you and your good old home. Oh! how our hearts have ached for a word from your own pen. ''Tears have passed away since your last letter reached us years that now seem to be lifetimes. I have prayed to the father that he would restore yon to the path of rectitude; but if he baa not already, you say, "Ah me! Tie will never gav me!", , But I say faithfully, Ho will. Oh brother! will you not be saved? God sees your heart while you read these words. He knows if there Is a secret wish there it is to be a better .nan. If there be but the bud of a resolution, he knows; hear him say, "Seek ye first thS kingdom of God and all things shall be added thereunto." Jesns wit' raise your head and make you a new man. Go to Him, oh, my brother! 'Will yon not write a few words toyonr own home? It may, indeed, be a bitter task; b'ut my it prove to be a blessing! . Do try to overcome every obstacle., Look down deep into your heart, and see if there is not a wish to remember your sister, your affectionate and an xious sistery '.:'..:': -' ' HARIET BARTER.' . P.

CHILD TO GOV. WISE, ( , Wayland, Moss , Oct. 20th, 1859. Goverkob Wise: I have heard that you were a man of chivalrous sentiments, and I know you were opposed to the iniquitous attempt to force upon Kansas a Constilatren abhorrent to the moral sense of ber people. Relying upon those indications of honor and justice in your character, Ivonture to ask a favor of yon. Enclosed is a letter to Capt. John Brown. Will you have the kindnes. after reading it yourself, to transmit it to the prisoner? ' I, and all my large circle of abolition ac quaintances, were taken by surprise, when news came of Capt. Brown's recent attempt; nor do I know of a single person who would have approved of it, had they bsen apprised of his intentions. But I, and thousands of of others, feel a natural impulse of sympathy for the brave and sufforing man. Perhaps God, who sees the inmost of our souls, perceives some such sentiment in your heart also. He needs mother or sister to dress his wounds, and speak soothingly to him. Will you allow me to perform that roissien of humanity? If you will, may God bless you for the generous deedt I havo boen, for years, an uncompromising abolitionist, and I should scorn to deny it, or apologise for it, as much as John Brown himself would do. Believing in peace principles. I deeply regret the step that the old veteran Das taken,while I honor his humanity towards those who became his prisoners. But, because it is my habit to be as open as daylight, I will also say that if I believo our roligion justified men in fighting for freedom, I should consider the enslaved, everywhere, as best en titled to that right. Such an avowal is a simple, frank expression of my senso of natural justice. . But I should despise myself utterly, if any circumstances could tempt me to seek to advance these opinion, in any way, direct or indirectly, after your permission to visit Virginia had been obtained on tbe plea of sis terly sympathy with a brave and suffering man. I give my word of honor, which was never broken, that I would use such permission solely and singly for the purpose of nursing your prisoner,' and for" no other purpose whatsoever'. - .'

By this, ot conrse, yon mean to 'be1 allowed to visit him in his call, and minister to bim in the offices of hnmanity. Why shootdyou not be so allowed, Madam? Yligini and Massachusetts are Involved m no ettil war.and the Constitution which unites them In one Confederacy, guarantees to you the privelegea and immunitiesof a citizen of thefjnlted (Kates in the State of Virginia. That Const it at ion I an sworn to support, and am, therefore, bound to protect your privileges and immunities as a citizen of Massachusetts coming into Virginia for any lawful and peaceful purpose. Cbmirrg, as yoa propose, to minister to the captive in prison, you will be met, doubtless by all oar people, not only in s chivalrous, but in Christian spirit. ' You have the right to visit Charlestown, Vir-ginia, Madam, and your mission being merciful and humane, will not only be allowed but be respected if not welcomed. A few, unenlighted and inconsiderate persons, fanat ical in their modes of thought and action to maintain justice and right, might moleRt you or be disposed to do so, and this might suggest the imprudence of risking any experiment upon tho peace of a society very anmch excited by the pj-rrncs witb whose chief author you seem to sympathise so much; but, still, I repeat, your motives and. avowed purpose are lawful and peaceful, and I will, as far as I am concerned, do my duty in protecting your rights in our limits. Virginia and her bit-thotilies would bo weak, indeed weak in point of folly and weak in point of power- it her State faith and constitutional obligations cannot be redeemed in her own limits to the letter of morality as well as ofla'v, and if ber chivalry cannot courteously receive a lady's visit to a prisoner. ' Every arm which guards Brown from rescue on tho one hand and from lynch law on the other, will be ready to guard yew person. I could not permit an insult even to woman in ber walk of charity among us, though it be to one who whetted knives of butchery for our "mothers, sistors." daugh ters and babes. We have no sympathy with your sentiments of sympathy with Browri.and re soprised that you were "taken by sur prise whew news came , erf Captain Brown's recent attempt." His attempt was a natural consequence of yonr sympathy, and the error of that sympathy ought to make you doubt its virtue, from the effect on his conduct. But it is not of this I should speak.' , When you arrive at Charlestown, if you go there, it will be for the Court and its officers, the Commonwealth's Attorney, Sheriff and Jailor, to say wbetheryou may see and wait on the prisoner. But, wbetheryou are thus permitted or not, (and you will be.if my advice can prevail)you may rest assured that be will be humanely, lawfully, and mercifully dea'.t by, in prison and on trial.
